From Monolith to Docker Distributed Applications [CON3284]

Docker is revolutionizing the way people think about applications and deployments. It provides a simple way to run and distribute Linux containers for a variety of use cases, from lightweight virtual machines to complex distributed microservice architectures. But migrating an existing Java application to a distributed microservice architecture is no easy task, requiring a shift in the software development, networking, and storage to accommodate the new architecture. This presentation provides insights into the experience of the speaker and his colleagues in creating a Jenkins platform based on distributed Docker containers running on Apache Mesos and Marathon and applicable to all types of applications, especially Java- and JVM-based ones.
